SolidWorks 2010 Furniture Design industry solution

Furniture Design industry solution

Companies who design and manufacture furniture are seeing more accurate and timely designs through their implementation of SolidWorks. SolidWorks is an intuitive yet powerful 3D CAD software package that allows the user to quickly create designs that can be easily edited and shared.

Why are designers of furniture using SolidWorks?

• Because adding detailed trims to a design is easy. Simply define a path and choose from many styles in the design library: edit and scale to suit the design.

• Because SolidWorks can eliminate error by ensuring all sub assemblies within a piece of furniture fit together seamlessly.

• SolidWorks's dynamic assembly motion can be used to simulate drawer and cabinet motion.

• Because 3D design software can all but eliminate the need for a physical prototype.

• Because designs can be resized parametrically in response to a customer's request. Change adesign's dimensions quickly and easy.

• Because complex features such as dovetails can be drag-and-dropped onto your design.

• Because common third-party components such as handles and door knobs are available in the design library along with associated fixings.
